How to allow Chrome Camera access on a Windows or Mac?
Different applications require the use of your camera and/or microphone to perform specific tasks. You may have been asked to allow this access at some point in the past. Chrome is no exception here. Certain websites and web pages require you to use a microphone and camera when using Chrome.
Whether you are a macOS user or a Windows user, Chrome can access your camera in the same way through the Chrome app. The Chrome apps for PC and Mac used to have some differences, but now they are exactly the same. Here is how to allow camera/microphone access on your PC or Mac.
STEPS:
Tap on the ‘Menu’ icon
- Open the Chrome browser and navigate to the three-dot icon.
Tap ‘Settings’
- In the menu that pops up, select Settings.
Tap ‘Site Settings’
- In the Settings tab select Site settings.
Tap ‘Camera’
- Go to Camera or Microphone on the next screen. Here, you can turn off the Ask before accessing option. However, if you care about your privacy, you will want this feature on.
If you have blocked a website from accessing your microphone or camera, they should be on the blocked list. To remove them from this list, select the trash can icon to the right of the entry. Now, once you visit the website in question again, you will be asked to allow it to use your microphone/camera. This time, click Allow.
